Former Buccaneers quarterback and first round pick turned TV star analyst Trent Dilfer has resurfaced on a new series of features for the NFL Network. Oh, and on the first installment, he’s a big fan/believer in Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen

More on that in a bit.

Unfortunately, a year ago at this time, he was caught up in the newest wave of ESPN budget cuts, where they laid off over 100 staff members including him.

It’s curious because from two different sources, Dilfer was well liked behind the scenes and was at one point being groomed to potentially be Jon Gruden’s replacement in the Monday Night Football booth, if Gruden went back to coach. Ironically, that has now happened for 2017 and Dilfer has been off the air for a year, while ESPN has still been paying him.
